Street racing accident - car flips
Here's a clip from when I went down for on of the Cash Day's events down south, luckily this car has a funny car cage in it and the driver walked away only sore!
The funny part is, he was trying to kick the windshield about 15 minutes after this happened so he could make the next round of racing! hahah

He was lucky to walk away uninjured. A racer down here wasn't so lucky. He flipped his car a few times on the big end and had no helmet on and the rollcage beat him up and he died. If you race on the street make sure you come prepared like if you racing at the track.
Be safe out there.

I witnessed this kind of crash actually worse at the last KOTS I went to. The trouble with the road picked for the event here is that it was too damn narrow. The car went down through a ditch then over a barb wire fence and flipped several times. The drive walked away thankfully.

this kind of racing is cool to watch, but its 100% dumb to support or take part in. do it the lgeal way. obviously these people have no wife, family, kids, or good jobs that they value....otherwise they wouldnt take part in such ignorant, idiotic activites. do it at the track where you have rescue ON site incase somethings happpens....not to mention a shutdown area thats just as long as the track lol. i hate to say it, but this kinda stuff serves em right. its sad that it would take something like this to realize that racing should be done legally at a track, but soemtimes you gotta hit rock bottom before you see things clearly lol. looks like this guy was lucky.

I don't see how this serves him right but yes he did need a longer shut down area. I'm pretty almost every one if not every one on this board has been in a street race at one point or another so should this happen to us all?

yes...ive done it before and was lucky enough to come away with nothing like this and no tickets as well. but to take a car of that power on a street that is lined by driveways, power lines, trees, curbs, etc......thats just a combo that spells disaster. and most of the time it will take something of this nature to cause one to stop this kinda of activity. so luckily he walked away from it unhurt, and hopefully wont do it again! so kinda yea......in a way this was a good thing that happened.....since he wasnt hurt and it could potentially be an eye-opener to take it to the track

I have been to many of these events. Very organized and I support it but, that was a stupid *** spot that they picked out. It almost looked as if the cars brakes went out and to avoid runnin straight on into somethin he chose to roll it. Yall have to admit that this kind of street racing is safer then the idiots I see on here nailin it on a highway with traffic all around them or idiots doing it on a public road stoplight to stoplight. Those are the idiots that **** me off who cares how much power the car makes.
If your gonna race on the street do it organized like these guys or do it on a highway where there is zero traffic and no way possible that someone can pull out in front of you.

Well i have too done street racing, but it is illegal and you will go to jail if caught... in florida as far as i know. I do agree with you though. I wouldn;t mind going to watch either but thats just as bad haha. Organized events> random racing is always gonna be better

When me a couple others off this borad go to Mexico to race we go where ther is no one around, no light poles and it's very open just ditches and feilds by us. We keep it very organized and usually a last minute decisions on the spot to keep people from heading out early and being stupid about it and we also have different routes to each location so it's not one big group parade.
